Anne Ruthmann Blog

About

This blog is where my personal and business life intersect. I'm a professional photographer in New York City (but I don't share a lot of my professional images on this blog.) I geek out about great design, composition, art, and perspective. I travel the world as often as I can for work and pleasure and find ways to inspire and empower creative people to make an awesome living doing what they love through creative business consulting. When I'm not blogging here, I'm updating my Anne Ruthmann Photography Facebook Page with recent shoots or sharing business advice for photographers on Photo Lovecat. I've shared a lot about my reiki journey on this blog as well, in case you happen to fall into the Highly Sensitive Person category and want to find a way to better manage all the feels.

I've been a loyal blog stalker, um, reader of Anne's for a long time. I read the post and couldn't pass up the opportunity!

Why were you interested in the internship?

I really admire Anne, both professionally and personally (or at least as much as I knew from her blog). Since I'm just starting out as a photographer, I wanted to learn as much as I could...plus I was hoping that some of her awesomeness would rub off eventually :)

What are you hoping to get out of the internship? Ideally, I'm hoping to abduct Anne's dog, Misty...she's so cute!! But if that option is off the table...I want to learn the behind-the-scenes aspects of running a business. Photography school is fantastic, but there are some things you just can't learn in a classroom setting.

What is your education background? I earned my undergraduate degree in French, and am currently wrapping up a Professional Photography Certificate program.

Are you currently working elsewhere? Yes, I'm an Office Administrator at an investment firm.

What would you attempt if you knew you could not fail? I would move someplace warm and launch myself full-time into pet photography. I love animals, and am not such a fan of the cold and snow. Balmy winters + spending time with other people's pets = my idea of the perfect life!
